slug issue
 

OK. In woodies DIY stores nationwide you can buy beer traps. If you see any slugs then maybe sprinkle salt onto them as they will burn. Egg shells are also useful.

Kind Regards,

put some beer in a large tub they love it

narki......lol

Well I'm currently testing the coffee grinds method, it is alledged that a) it provides nutrients and b) deters slugs. Not that I've noticed any slugs yet and the marigolds are still in one piece.

i will not sleep tonight - Slugs in psycho fashion - HELP!
 

yes, to say i have a prob with slugs is an understatement.
i live in social housing, with a yard out back, i beautified it and built up the raised bed into a veritable garden and along with potted plants, water barrel and grass down it seems to have caused a dreadful infestation this year. checked just now a dozen saucers of beer, they are absolutely everywhere, even crawling over each other. a crack in gutter probably let far too much water in during winter and only one tiny outlet in the corner of solid concrete.
the yard was all concrete, never a garden, run off to a drain at the end but none off the raised bed - help, i am not a good sleeper best of times. neighbour has same prob and put beer down but its driven him to sup the beer too - he's an alcoholic and i will be too if this goes on.

Sprinkle salt on them and they will dissolve.

sluggish suggestion
 

read in a magazine that someone puts yeast and sugar out, cheaper than beer and works, how she combo's these are anyones guess, i cannot figure.

Two cups of warm water, a packet of dry yeast, and one teaspoonful each of salt and sugar. Although you should avoid salt if composting the the slugs.

Apparently it's the yeast the slugs are mad about.

Made some traps with tubs and cocktail sticks, have now filled with Guinness and popped into the ground.

Hens
 

Get a couple of hens, they will sort your slug problem for you!
